Excellent afternoon ski lesson at Grindelwald First. 2.5h = 3 long runs. The first serious skiing of the season. I hope the weather holds so that we can repeat tomorrow morning.
Statuses
Sattel ski
Morning mountain: more relaxed skiing at Sattel. This time I made some longer runs.
Sattel vs Sattel
View from Sattel top station last Friday vs today. Yeah the weather looked a lot nicer last week, but there’s more snow now.
Sattel ski
Morning mountain: some low-key skiing at Sattel. Practically had the mountain to myself this morning!
First time on snowshoes
Today was my first ever outing on snowshoes (at age 49). You’re never too old to learn new things.
Snowshoe hike to Gottschalkenberg
Morning mountain: snowshoe hike to Gottschalkenberg. 5km, 150m ascent, 1h30m. Foggy, windy, cold, and snowy but fun nevertheless.
Lillehammer medals
Lillehammer also had the coolest Olympic medals (granite + metal)
Lillehammer torch
The 1994 Lillehammer winter games had the best torch
Olympic pictograms
Pictograms from various Olympiads. First introduced for the 1964 Tokyo games, they’ve been a staple of Olympic design ever since. They have a lot in common with App icon design. (The Olympic Museum, Lausanne)
Aquatis snake
Beautiful snake at Aquatis in Lausanne yesterday.
